Ski + skins pack
The pair of Backland 85 skis is sold with the skins trimmed at the sides of the ski.
The skins are made of 70% mohair and 30% synthetic materials – the ideal compromise in terms of gliding performance (when climbing to save energy) and grip (when climbing to reduce the backslide effect).

Structure
Ultra Light Woodcore core and “Step Down Sidewall” guarantees durability and optimal shock absorption as well as excellent grip on all types of terrain
What is a rocker?
On a ski with a "rocker", the nose, and sometimes the tail, raises off the ground much sooner than with a cambered ski with no rocker. This moves the points of contact towards the centre of the ski. The surface of the ski in contact with the snow is shortened: they have better handling and more buoyancy on soft snow. When leaning into turns, the edge length offers more grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the better the handling of the ski.
Rocker
Light rocker on the front nose makes it versatile on all types of snow.
What is a camber?
When placing a ski on the ground, its points of contact are found near the nose and tail, whereas the middle of the ski (under the bindings) is slightly raised (this is the camber). The higher the camber, the greater the grip and more responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving the ski and the better the handling.
Camber
The Backland 85 has a standard camber with good grip on hard snow.
What are ski sidecuts?
The sidecuts are characterised by 3 sides: the width of the tip (front of ski), the waist (middle of ski) and tail (back of ski).
This ski tip's width makes it easy to enter a turn (117 mm).
The 85 mm waist width provides good grip on hard snow.
When coming out of turns, the 106 mm heel width facilitates handling in curves.
